Aliseniors Stair Climbing Assist Cane, FSA/HSA Eligible Stair Lift Aid for Seniors Stair Steady to Walk Up and Down Stairs or Steps, Adjustable Walking Sticks for Right or Left Handed Men or Women

Although there is a learning curve to figuring out how the stair assist cane works (I really wish it came with some instructions, but you can find online video tutorials to help), it has been immensely helpful and decreases the height of each stair rise. In order to use the cane best, we found it necessary to practice several times with assistance before being able to utilize it alone.I’m so glad there is a product to help my grandma navigate her home more easily.The cane is light enough to use easily, while being sturdy enough to make me confidence in its safety. The textured tread to decrease risk of slipping is also a wonderful design edition.

I donated a pricey articulating walker because it was too heavy to use alone. Next I tried the plastic box with a cane attached. I did not feel comfortable it would be ok in winter, so a friend took it to her place down south. This unit is metal with rubber feet and hold considerably more than my weight. It took a little practice. One has to watch placement to be careful of the feet of the unit being safely on the stair before stepping up onto it. Because I live where there is snow and such, I wanted more of a slip resistant surface. I had some antislip tape in the house and added 2 strips of it.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B097TTQV4C?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_titleI don't think there's a perfect portable answer to this problem. But this is better than some. Certainly easier than dragging around a 9 ft long portable ramp. If it was for permanent use, and it's something a person can afford I'd have a carpenter build some half steps in if a ramp isn't possible but for visiting, it will do. I have a woman's size 9W shoe. My husband has a mens size 13 and he said he thought it probably didn't work as well for him. So bear foot size in mind.

This stair climbing cane really helped me get around. I needed this mostly after I had my knee replacement. The cane does support short steps. Some steps are built smaller and this cane would not support it good enough. Measures your steps first before buying. The 4 legs got to touching the floor of the steps.

You can get a cane with 4 feet for about $25. This item is built similarly, but adds a rectangular piece of sheet metal to stand on...for $100. Sorry I bought it.

I bought this for my hip replacement recovery. It was very helpful. Right hip replaced and a bad left knee and stairs out of every door of my house. Can not bend the left knee more than 4inches. This little platform was wonderful. It is very stable and sturdy. Highly recommend.

Was good product but did not work for my needs. Width was good but needed to be longer to place both feet on step. Was risky to use on stairway. Better for single step down. Return accepted and refund processed very promptly.

Makes going up stairs very easy by changing the step height to 4 inches. Was falling down the stairs d/t poor leg strength. My home PT never saw this before but said it is a fantastic device to help provide security when using stairs. They have their stamp of approval!

I found the cane ridiculously difficult to position correctly. A person who needs this obviously would have mobility/stability issues. May be a good product. Make sure you have someone who can make the adjustment. Design unnecessarily difficult. I can not see the value of this method of cane orientation over other methods.
